Rozina said:

Vodka fumes from the genie in the bottle? By the way not even a cordless vacuum with instructions. Merry X\'mas.

A round tale
Walking in dreams
Merry Christmas dear Paul
In between i have put my thoughts in an empty bottle
Waiting for genie to appear

The Bottle

\'Vodka bottle do.
Jesus, yes.
Okay, I\'ve run out of room.
You’re so predictable.
Just like you last night, standards are dropping.\'
😄
\'Take my word for it, I’m going to send you to sleep, then I’m going to join you.
How does that help me if we’re both asleep, you got a bit of telepathy going on here.
Yes, I’m going to put you into a trance, see if we can find you another guy.
What sort of guy are we talking about, I mean, I’ve already hit rock bottom with you.\'
😁
\'Just relax, breathe in, breathe out, stop doing that.
Doing what.
You’re thrusting your chest out, do you know what sort of guy that’ll attract.
Someone like you.\'
😂
\'Why is he in the Asylum.
He killed a snail.
My God, they put you in the Asylum for that.
No, he’s in for using a flamethrower.
What’s the snail got to do with it.
That was the trigger point.
So what happens if I upset him, and it triggers something, and he goes mad.
It won’t, I told him to put all his negative thoughts into your bottle.\'
🤣
(Happy holidays, dear poet
what a gift, I\'m literally
LMAO!)

What Women Want
spilleronsheet said:

Lol
Iron and hoover
I wonder what the man wanted after all
Sure enough the woman should vanish

The Tortoise
L. B. Mek said:

I want these words
as my epitaph...
\'I told her
marriage was an institution.
She went mental.
I consoled myself
with shooting the tortoise.
It was for the best.
There was no way
it would win the greyhound derby.
She
was beyond, reason.
I was bringing it
out of its shell.
I sort of laughed, uncontrollably.\'
(pure, wry humour: Genius!
what a gift, you choose to share
thank you, dear Poet)

I believe many young women ended up in this sad situation. Often duped into believing that life would be much better for them in a city or in another country. Very sad situation.

So true
It was only that thing needed
But while running one never realises
For what they started
This is a very thought provoking poetry
Thanks for sharing dear Paul

Man At Peace

A very tragic one
He lived and he died
Yet the peace that was wanted, it came with death
So deep dear Paul

I like your mirror, mine\'s got my dad hiding in it.

The Mirror
L. B. Mek said:

this is a very dark outing
of societies taboo topics
and a poetic study, on causality:
like, how we have our fears and hate\'s
rebounded
then unknowingly convince ourselves
that\'s who we, want to be..
and how we covet
the perfect family person
across the street, then
leer endlessly, at the seductively dressed
or how those dressed so invitingly
fume, at the attention
they need
to bolster their warped, self esteem..
(so many topics and themes
you commentate on, bravely
a write of true poetic brevity
thanks for sharing, dear Poet)
and I too agree: that hypocrisy
in the mirror
is the very worst kind of betrayal
we\'ll ever know in life

spilleronsheet said:

What was noticed was a different feel
To others it may seem a dream
But often they were ignorant
It’s wonder that a poet wrote by…
A very different poetry dear Paul
Good one
